2006年,仿制药占农化市场的39.6%。其中,27.4% 的行业总销售额来自仿制药公司。菲利普斯麦克杜格尔 农业服务 defines a generic company as “one that manufactures active ingredients (ais) and receives the majority of its sales from products that are off patent, and that were researched, developed, or first introduced by another company.”

10 家领先的仿制药制造商的总销售额增加了 2.7%,达到 $52.65 亿美元。促成这一增长的有几个因素,例如草甘膦销售额和价值的增加以及研发驱动型公司的产品撤资。不过,在大多数情况下,2006 年仿制药领域的知名企业都通过收购公司和产品而壮大起来。

以下是排名前 10 位的后专利公司,以及它们是如何上榜的:

Makhteshim Agan 工业公司 – Israel

全球市场占有率4%, Makhteshim Agan 工业公司 (MAI) 在整个全球农用化学品市场中排名第七,其中包括专有和品牌非专利产品。该集团在非专利领域排名第一。

has held the top spot for several years, in part due to its far-reaching and comprehensive distribution network – two dozen marketing firms throughout Europe, the US, and Latin America with manufacturing facilities worldwide – and an impressive portfolio consisting of more than 90 internationally registered ais, 500 formulations, and over 4,000 registrations in 120 countries.

在 2006/07 年,该集团通过收购意大利分销公司的 60% 增加了这个已经很强大的档案 科兰特.这家拥有近 40 年历史的意大利植物保护产品制造商和分销商在 2005 年的销售额为 $3000 万美元,主要销往意大利和其他欧盟国家。

还收购了美国市场和产品研发公司Alligare的30%;配电公司75% 阿格罗维塔 in the Czech Republic while setting up a distribution company in Russia – potentially one of the largest and swiftest growing agrochemical markets based on its vast agricultural area.

关于加强其在东欧和俄罗斯潜在的美国$14亿美元农化市场的地位, former President and CEO Shlomo Yanai said: “The companies in the Czech Republic and Russia join the recently opened 马克西姆·阿甘 coordination center for Central and Eastern Europe in Budapest and the existing distribution network, comprised of companies in Poland, Hungary, and Romania, which together with our extensive product portfolio will enable us to significantly increase our group sales in this growing and important region.”

At the same time, MAI’s Colombian subsidiary Proficol expanded its South American presence through the acquisitions of Ecuadorian generics distributors Agroproteccion and Agromedio, which have registrations of over US $18 million with 70 distributors and annual growth of 35% over the last three years.

纽发姆 – Australia

With manufacturing and marketing operations throughout the world – specifically Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Americas, and Europe – 纽发姆 has the organization set up to sell products in over 100 different countries. It added to this impressive system in 2006 with the acquisition of Australia’s foremost canola seed production and marketing company, Dovuro Seeds, and Nutrihealth Pty Ltd., an Australian canola specialty seed breeding company, significantly strengthening and consolidating its seed position. The two acquisitions give the company, according to a press release, “a market-leading position in canola across conventional, hybrid, and specialty seed products.”

On the European front, Doug Rathbone, Nufarm’s managing director, has said: “Italy is one of the major agricultural markets in Western Europe and the only major market in that region where 纽发姆 does not currently have an operational presence.” This was quickly remedied when the company acquired Italian crop protection company 农用溶胶, 主要以杀虫剂和杀菌剂而闻名。通过此次收购, 纽发姆 took possession of Agrisol’s distribution business, customer lists, and 130 product registrations, as well as its pipeline of new products scheduled for approval over the next few years. At the time of the buyout, Nufarm’s Italian sales totaled over US $7.1 million; Agrisol’s sales of almost US $9.3 million will help Nufarm’s sales in Italy to expand rapidly. 

同样在 2006 年, 纽发姆 took 100% ownership of Agripec, Brazil’s eighth-largest crop protection company. Planning to use Agripec as a platform to develop new business opportunities in Brazil, which Rathbone calls “one of the world’s most exciting growth markets,” he stated, “I am extremely confindent that this development will strengthen our opportunities as we see continued expansion of, and investment in, agriculture in Brazil.”

切米诺娃 – Denmark

总部设在丹麦 切米诺娃 在北美和南美、亚洲、欧盟和东欧的 19 个国家设有子公司。它通过收购匈牙利植物保护和营养分销商 Kerolagro 扩大了其基础,该公司的营业额约为 $383 万美元。 Kerolagro 将继续其广泛的现有产品组合,同时增加 切米诺娃 产品。匈牙利公司将更名为 切米诺娃 Magyarország, says 切米诺娃 Sales and Marketing Vice President Jesper K. Hansen. He added: “We believe that Kerolagro, together with our newly established sales and marketing organizations in Romania and Bulgaria, will form an excellent platform for Cheminova’s growth in the important Central European market.”

The addition of Kerolagro will enhance Cheminova’s position as a leading generic agrochemical manufacturer and distributor, as will its December 2006 acquisition of global rights to 拜耳作物科学公司 insecticide acrinathrin. Acrinathrin – which has primary markets in Japan, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia – has been marketed in Europe by Cheminova since 2002.

切米诺娃 还专注于企业责任,围绕第三世界国家安全使用和逐步淘汰毒性最强的农药、与其在印度和丹麦的生产设施相关的环境问题以及供应商管理展开。

联合磷 – India

The largest acquisitions of the year, however, were made by India’s largest agrochemical company, 联合磷业有限公司 (UPL). In 2006, the company made six major acquisitions, starting with the important purchase of global seed and seed technology supplier Advanta Netherlands Holdings BV – which has a history dating back to the 19th century – purchased in February 2006 by UPL’s subsidiary Biowin Corporation Limited, based in Mauritius. Executive Director of UPL Jai Shroff said: “The acquisition of Advanta allows UPL to jump start our entry in the high end of the seeds business where the future of agriculture growth lies. This transaction not only makes us the largest player in some segments, but also gives us leadership positions in many important products.”

UPL 还完全控制了南非农化公司Cropserve,该公司持有Agricola生产lenacil和chloridazon的注册,市场规模接近美国$1.43亿美元。

从获得产品后 拜耳作物科学 2006年8月, UPL purchased DuPont’s rice and aquatic herbicide bensulfuron-methyl in September; two months later, the company bought 西乐格瑞 – a crop protection manufacturer and distributor with facilities around the world – from Arkema. The acquisition of products such as asulam, oxydemeton, trichlorfon, propanil, and bensulfuron have raised UPL’s stake in global agrochemicals.

UPL 完成了这一年的收购 陶氏农业科学 LLC’s global propanil herbicide business. Propanil has more than 100 registrations in over 30 countries in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia/Pacific; the product and its formulations had a 2005 turnover of US $18.9 million.

With these acquisitions added to UPL’s network of over 36 subsidiaries, the company’s global marketing network exports to over 100 countries, primarily in Europe and North America. International revenues account for over 70% of UPL’s total sales.

Sipcam-Oxon 集团 – Italy

根据 Sipcam-Oxon 集团 has been active in the production and formulation of agrochemical products since 1946. While it considers itself a medium-sized company, Sipcam has subsidiaries in over a dozen countries worldwide and runs a widespread marketing network. The majority of its focus has been in Europe, particularly Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, and the UK. More recently, sales into the Americas – mostly US, Mexico, and Brazil – have contributed to revenue and opened the door for a 50%-50% South American venture with fellow Italian agrochemical company Isagro SpA.

2006年1月,Isagro与Sipcam成立合资公司Isagro 摄像头 International, which seeks to acquire stakes in agrochemical distributors and focuses on development, distribution, and formulation activities. As part of the deal, Isagro acquired 50% of Sipcam’s Brazilian operation, Sipcam Agro – which has operated in Brazil since 1979 – for US $21.5 million. Isagro Sipcam International purchased a 75% stake in the Colombian distributor 酒吧,以及阿根廷经销商 Agro Max 的 51% 股份。

高恩公司 – US

自 1963 年以来,总部设在美国 高文 为农业利基市场提供作物保护产品。这种情况一直持续到 2006 年,这家家族企业推出了几款新产品。

从二月份开始, 高文 launched X-tra Strength Avadex BW — a more highly concentrated version of the cereal herbicide Avadex BW — which offered growers such benefits as lower use rates, elimination of the need for specialized granular application equipment, and easy impregnation on fertilizer. 

4 月,美国联邦对苹果、梨和葡萄的 Onager 产生了新的容忍度;以及加利福尼亚、亚利桑那和德克萨斯的柑橘。

9 月,通过与 日产化学, 高文 添加 育空地区 用于甘蔗、大田玉米、大田玉米和高粱的除草剂。 育空地区 controls broadleaf weeds with resistance or tolerance to glyphosate and ALS-inhibiting products, as well as postemergence sedge control. Nick Alonso, Gowan product manager, said: “Our mission is to continually provide producers with top quality and effective crop protection products.”

AMVAC化学公司 – US

美国先锋公司.’s subsidiary AMVAC was in 2006 named to Forbes’ list of 200 Best Small Companies for the fourth year. AMVAC, 成立于 1969 年,其领先的增长战略是从业内较大的公司收购和许可利基产品线。

AMVAC did just that in 2006, acquiring BASF’s Counter insecticide product line and the Lock ‘n Load closed delivery system for granular products. The Counter line, as well as Phorate – which AMVAC acquired in 2005 from 巴斯夫公司 – are marketed in Lock ‘n Load. Counter alone generated approximately US $25 million in 2005, mainly in North and Latin America. The systemic insecticide-nematicide is registered in more than 20 countries.

American Vanguard’s President and CEO Eric Wintemute described the acquisition as “our largest to date. The Lock ‘n Load closed delivery system offers terrific synergies with our SmartBox delivery system, and we are quickly emerging as a leading owner and provider of safe granular delivery technology.”

AMVAC’s SmartBox delivery system had already received a boost earlier in the year when the company entered into an exclusive, multi-year licensing agreement to market, sell, and distribute Dow AgroSciences’ 美国的Lorsban 15G杀虫剂。 Lorsban 成为第一个许可交易 AMVAC and Dow, and the fifth product to be marketed through the SmartBox system. AMVAC Senior Vice President and Director of Business Development Glen Johnson said, “We see this agreement as an important opportunity to further develop the positioning of SmartBox as the delivery system of choice for granular insecticides.”

在另一项独家多年协议中 拜耳作物科学公司, AMVAC 将在美国营销、销售和分销杀菌剂 Bayleton。

阿塔诺尔 – Argentina

自1938年以来, 阿塔诺尔 自 1954 年以来一直活跃于阿根廷市场,合成和生产除草剂。该国的多家工厂和工厂支持它作为 MERCOSUR 2,4-D 的唯一生产商,这是全球唯一的 2,4-D 和工业一体化 2,4 -DB 生产商,全球第二大阿特拉津生产商。该公司在澳大利亚、玻利维亚、古巴、危地马拉、墨西哥和美国进行了注册。

除了在智利、巴拉圭和乌拉圭的外国办事处外, 阿塔诺尔 began construction in January 2006 of a glyphosate plant in Brazil after receiving authorization from Brazil’s agriculture ministry to produce the generic form of the chemical. This authorization was Brazil’s first approval of a generic product.

后来在 2006 年, 阿塔诺尔 与中国领先的农化公司安徽华兴化学工业有限公司达成协议。这家 50/50% 合资企业名为安徽华新 ATANOR 化工有限公司,注册资本为 $1600 万美元。

拉利斯 – India

这家印度公司的贸易公司历史可以追溯到 1815 年。在 1990 年代,它将农业综合企业确定为核心优势,并巩固了其在农药、化肥和种子方面的地位。今天,除了生产和销售农用化学品, 拉利斯 已成立农场管理服务 (FMS),它致力于承包农业,帮助农民为他们的投入筹集资金,并为他们的收获获得公平的价格。

To increase its own finances in 2006, the company launched the insect growth regulator Applaud, which would protect coastal belt paddy crops from the brown plant hopper and white fly. Rallis India Managing Director V.S. Sohoni described the product as “effective as well as eco-friendly.”

2005年, 拉利斯 与 CropLife India 联合启动了一项安全意识计划,旨在教育种植者了解新的农业技术实践以及安全有效地使用新农药。这包括苏云金芽孢杆菌棉籽,该公司计划明年推出 (Bollgard II)。
